Abstract

A novel, convenient, and efficient approach to the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated thioimidates with a phosphonate functional group in β-position has been reported based on a multicomponent reaction. The generated zwitterions from the reaction of trialkyl phosphites and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates are trapped with benzenecarbonyl isothiocyanate to produce the title compounds in good yield.
